Lucius Scribonius Libo (Consul 16)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lucius Scribonius Libo was a Roman senator at the beginning of the imperial era.

Lucius Scribonius Libo was probably the grandson (according to older reconstructions, the son) of the consul of the same name from 34 BC. His great aunt was Scribonia , temporarily wife of the emperor Augustus . Through his mother Pompeia Magna, he was great-grandson of the triumvir Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus .

He was an ordinary consul (together with Sisenna Statilius Taurus ) in the first half of AD 16. In that year his brother, Praetor Marcus Scribonius Libo Drusus , was charged with conspiracy against the Emperor Tiberius and committed suicide. Lucius Libo was Septemvir epulonum and possibly the owner of quarries in Luna .
